Both are true, depending on which situation one is talking about. The current heat some situation or their homeless situation?

After all, having a hkuse doesn't guarantee air conditioning (guy does in his home of exposure in TX) and being homeless doesn't exclude it during the hottest part of the day (there are heat shelters in the most cities).

Also true that if they weren't on drugs in the first place they'd tolerate the heat better. Drugs decrease your survivability, no doubt.

Also true that many wouldn't be on drugs if they hadn't lost their homes in the first place.

Also true that many wouldn't have lost their jobs and their homes if they hadn't gotten on drugs.

Sad truth is a lot of the homeless can't be helped. Theyre too far gone in addiction. Any help you try to give them just gets sold or traded for their next hit. Better to try to prevent homelessness in the first place, but we're not going to do that either.

The extremes ARE going to start taking people out. It'll be the old, the young, and the weak first. Like it always is. Drugs are a weakness. They make you weak, no doubt, and in a lot of ways.

Yeah. There's going to be a lot of bodies. I'm sitting on the bus right now. If the power goes maybe a third of the people sitting on here would have survived the last month without power. That's generous.
